Jason Bateman shuts down gay porn site

By Alexandra Heilbron on August 11, 2010 | 15 Comments


Jason Bateman wasn’t too pleased when his fans reported finding that a site with the URL JasonBateman.com directed followers to an X-rated gay porn site. Bateman immediately took swift legal action and the site has been taken offline. During an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, he explained, “Uh, we sicced some lawyers on that. It was worse, it wasn’t even that it was a gay porn website, it was a gay porn web hub. From here you can go to thousands of gay porn sites!” Fallon exclaimed “Really?!” Bateman joked, “Don’t act like you don’t know.” Bateman is married to actress Amanda Anka (Paul Anka’s daughter) and they have a four-year-old daughter, Francesca.

    i can understand not wanting it associated with your name, but perhaps the creator has the same name as jason? either way, theres nothing wrong with “gay porn” everyone has a right to watch what they choose.

    It is even more important for someone to have the right to protect themselves and their name. Any website illegally using someone’s name should be shut down. This has nothing to do with sexual orientation other the media twisting the title to give a shocking meaning.

    thomas, thats what im saying, maybe the person that created the site ALSO has the name “jason bateman” its not uncommon for more than one person in the world to have the same first and last name. maybe it wasnt someone trying to be a jerk, which is what i was implying.

    It’s a play on words, figure it out 🙂

    wtg, jason…always liked this guy….hey, watch whatever you like, just don’t “inadvertently” attach it to my name….

    Mandee, the wonderful things about words is that when used correctly, they speak for themselves leaving the whole “implying” thing wayside. The article states that lawyers were involved which would stand to reason that the site would still be operating if the creator’s name was in fact Jason Bateman but alas it was terminated leading one to believe that someone(s) were using a celebrity for profit while ruining said celebrity’s reputation. It was a jerk.

    dont act like im retarded, celebs have legally fought others because their name was the same as theirs before, if the operators name was jason bateman the law may still be on this jasons side because HE is the one that can pay the lawyers and all the court costs, while the other one may just be some regular guy who cant afford to fight for his own rights. dont assume that you know everything about an article because you read it and perceived it differently than someone else did.

  13. Jo-Anne • August 18, 2010 @ 9:01 AM

    well, if nothing else, one would have hoped you’d have learned to spell on your “hiatus”, Nance….

  14. Nancy • August 19, 2010 @ 12:00 AM

    Awwe…still on the misspelling kick, huh LEECH? (Kinda hoped you’d learn to start your crappy sentences with a capital…hypocrite. LMFAO!)

    Mandee and Gypsy: I have been great. Life has been treating the kids and myself very well. Been dating an awesome guy for a while now and things are getting serious. Will give you more deets later on maybe, LOL. Glad you found full time employment, Mandee. With minimum wage over $10 that’s pretty good. Gypsy, I hope your health is well. I thought that cute pic was great too! Hahaha. Obviously “someone” doesn’t feel the same way. I like how she emphasizes on “hiatus”. Haven’t been on here for months now and don’t care to be. Just stopped to say hi to Mandee, Gypsy and Tributegirl. Read a few articles and only saw comments from Mandee.

    Nice chatting with you. If Tributegirl is on please say hello to her for me. I’ll pop in in a couple more months. Had all I can handle of El Leechio for another 3 months, hahaha.

  15. Jo-Anne • August 19, 2010 @ 10:06 AM

    for someone whose had enough of someone else….your many many references to me show quite the opposite, nance…hahaha !!!!

    game and match point….

    3 months and counting…
